Junior Consultant Expert - Remote Contract
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery needs consultants to build datasets that mirror how real client work gets done. You will turn your own desk research, structured problem solving and client communication habits into sample deliverables and the instructions that recreate them. Expect market overviews, strategy decks, memos and analytical spreadsheets, each paired with a prompt describing the analytical task behind it. The contract runs about 15 hours per week, fully remote and asynchronous, and pays $100 to $150 per hour.
What You'll Do6
- 1Produce or gather genuine consulting artifacts such as research briefs, market overviews, strategy decks, client memos and analytical spreadsheets
- 2Draft detailed prompts that spell out the analytical task a consultant would perform to generate each deliverable
- 3Build short rubrics that separate excellent output from average and poor output
- 4Apply MECE structures, issue trees and hypothesis-driven logic when shaping the material
- 5Keep every artifact consistent with the standards of a leading consulting firm
- 6Review your own submissions for accuracy, tone and internal logic before handing them off
Requirements6
- 1Native English speaker
- 2One to five years in consulting, including at least one stint at a leading firm
- 3Solid desk research, synthesis and presentation skills
- 4Track record of shipping polished, client-ready documents
- 5Comfort working from frameworks such as MECE, issue trees and hypothesis-driven problem solving
- 6Working knowledge of Excel, PowerPoint and structured business writing
Who Should Apply
The strongest fit is someone with one to five years in consulting, ideally with time at a top-tier firm, who can produce client-ready decks, memos and models from scratch. Preferred candidates have led workstreams or owned research-heavy modules and can explain why one deliverable beats another. The role suits people who write native-level English and think in MECE structures and issue trees. Candidates without consulting firm experience, or those who cannot show samples of polished client output, tend to score low here. Applications also suffer when the person lists frameworks but cannot describe how they applied them on a real project.
